Sainthood Reps "Monoculture" LP pre-orders up

ORDER HERE: http://youthconspiracy.bigcartel.com/product/sainthood-reps-monoculture-lp

Formed in 2009, Sainthood Reps began as an instrumental post-rock act but quickly evolved into a different beast entirely—one that snarls, howls and kicks the shit out of your ears without remorse. Guitarist Derrick Sherman is a Long Island scene staple and is currently a touring member of enigmatic rock troupe Brand New, and if you're a fan of that band's darker, more aggressive output, you'll love Sainthood Reps.

The band's debut album, Monoculture, was released last fall via Tooth & Nail Records, and we are thrilled to be able to offer you the vinyl version for the first time ever. This will be a one-time only pressing of 500 copies; this title will never be re-pressed by Youth Conspiracy Records.

It's been rumored since 2008, and now, it finally exists: Philadelphia's Person L and San Diego's Weatherbox each contribute two brand new tracks to this split EP. This release showcases Kenneth Vasoli and Brian Warren as true masters of their craft, in a constant game of post-punk one-upmanship. Essential listening that is worth the wait.

Are you on Facebook? Of course you are. And so are we! We'd love it if you found it inside yourself to "like" good ol' Youth Conspiracy Records by clicking here. We promise we'll repay you with delicious vinyl for years to come.

Speaking of which: YCR-005, YCR-006 and YCR-007 are all in the works. One is a classic album by a current Youth Conspiracy artist finally brought to life on vinyl; one is a 7-inch from a member of a Youth Conspiracy band's new project; and one is by a band new to the YCR family (but one who have hit the road with more than one of our bands in the past). Interest piqued yet? Details coming soon...
